SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - The Utah Jazz honored team owner Larry H. Miller with a moment of silence before their game against New Orleans on Saturday, a day after Miller's death.
The Jazz showed a brief video tribute as a lone spotlight shined down on Miller's empty courtside seat.The players also debuted patches that will be part of the uniform for the rest of the season. The patch is the original team logo, a purple music note with gold and green trim and the initials "LHM" in white at the top.
Miller died Friday of complications from diabetes. He was 64. Miller's funeral is scheduled for Feb. 28 at EnergySolutions Arena.
Miller owned the Jazz for nearly 25 years, buying a 50 percent share of the team in 1985 and the rest a year later. He was credited with saving the fledgling franchise from moving twice and keeping the NBA in his hometown.
